The smart home keeps on getting smarter. There seem to be an endless amount of devices out there now that not one corner of the smart-home or smartphone market hasn’t been covered. With the latest addition of the smart display keeping in touch or staying informed about anything is never again a problem.

The Lenovo 8″ Smart Display, like most other smart displays, is a fusion of a computer, tablet, and smartphone yet is a somewhat stationary device that is meant for any room of the home including the kitchen.

Sceptre 40 Class FHD 1080p LED TV X405BV FSR Review

Having a TV is like having a phone. Aside from its usefulness, you are always wanting the latest model and trying to upgrade to the latest one that comes out on the market. Luckily, there are so many choices out there and that really just gives the advantage to you, the consumer. The more competition there is amongst the TV makers usually translates into better deals. Take the 40″ Sceptre (X405BV-FSR) 1080p LED HDTV, for example, its a nice basic flat-screen TV with superior picture quality and a great value for the price, earning it a 4 out of 5 stars.

You might own multiple TVs, which you place in different rooms of the house, and though a TV like this 40″ Sceptre probably won’t be your main television it is an excellent choice for that additional one. Equipped with multiple HDMI ports, auxiliary ports, USB, Bluetooth it has everything needed to watch anything from all your favorite devices.

The audio is also top-notch producing clear and crisp sound when watching anything from large battle scenes to car crash scenes. The picture quality is excellent as well with MEMC 120 providing vibrant, colorful, rich, and fast moving pictures.

Overall, this simple yet solid 40″ TV by Sceptre is already a great value at its retail price, but when a deal comes around allowing you to snatch it up for 57% off, it’s a deal that shouldn’t be overlooked!

Amazon Echo Dot Review

Smart speakers are all the rage these days, and one of the originals is the Amazon Echo series speaker. With the greatly evolved Alexa technology, the possibilities are endless with the 3rd generation Echo Dot voice-controlled smart speaker. There wasn’t really much improvement needed since the first generation was released, but this intelligently designed mini smart speaker has come a long way, enough for us to rate it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Gone are the days of tediously manually entering dates and appointments into your calendar, or having to struggle with old technology just to get your favorite song to play.  With this speaker, it’s as easy as a spoken command. Shopping lists? not anymore, just speak your list and recall it later, or simply just order your items instantly all with your voice and have it delivered right to your door in a matter of days or even hours.

Since this deal comes as a 2-pack, you can buy it twice and get 4 of them for less than $100. Have one for each room of the house and use them as an intercom system, connecting to any room of the house with just a command.

The more you use the voice-activated features the smarter the speaker gets, learning your voice, your speech patterns and vocabulary. So it truly becomes personalized.

A sale on the Echo Dot comes around from time to time, but one this sweet is rare. Jump on it while you still can!

Galaxy S10e Review

Having a phone is essential nowadays and it’s rare you find someone without one, and a bit less rare to find someone who has two. Young and old, everyone’s got them, and it’s specifically the smartphone that most everyone has. And to narrow it down even more to the 2 most popular ones: the Apple iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy. These phones are the top of the line and usually the most expensive out there on the market. So when they go on sale or a deeply discounted deal comes around it’s usually worth a look, whether you need to upgrade or not.

The Galaxy S10e is the lower version of the 3 newest models from Samsung. Though when we took it for a spin, we were still impressed overall and give this phone a 4 out of 5 stars.

It’s a solid phone just like its sibling models, the Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10 Plus. The sleek design and immersive display are the first noticeable features, and once you delve deeper into discovering what this device has to offer, with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 and Android 9.0 Pie platform you really get a great user experience.

The pro-grade camera, with up to 16.0MP, is another notable feature as it allows you to take stunning photos with immense clarity and depth.  The all-day intelligent battery quietly learns and assesses how you use your phone and implements the best power plan to maximize battery life.

With $250 off the original retail price, for a limited time only, it is definitely worth a look.

JBL Link 10 Review

There are a lot of smart speakers out there, but not all of them are JBL. Known for its rich sound and clarity, the JBL brand and specifically the Link 10 speaker is up there with some of the best ones on the market today. With its voice-activated capability, Bluetooth, Wifi connectivity, and Google Assistant the features on this device seem endless. In testing, we were pleasantly satisfied with the results and feel comfortable giving this speaker a 4 out of 5 stars.

The speaker is lightweight, waterproof, and requires only 4 hours of charging time. Once you complete the simple setup process its as easy as speaking a command to get it to play your favorite music from services like Google Play Music, Spotify, Pandora and more!

It’s rugged and sleek looking and can last through all of your adventures by the pool, in the home, or on the go.

Don’t let the fact that this being a refurbished model throw you off. It comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty as JBL is confident that it will work just as new.  With 74% off the original price, it really is hard to say no to such a great deal. Plus it comes with free 2-day air shipping!

Anker Soundcore Liberty Neo Review

Wireless headphones have been around for a little while now, but Anker seems to be one of the leaders in this sub-industry. Some would say the quality of Anker products is often underestimated or overlooked because they get drowned out by the bigger brand names in the industry.  But if you’re looking for quality that fits well with pricing, Anker is a great option.

The Soundcore Liberty Neo Bluetooth 5.0 earbuds offer exceptional clarity because of the equipped graphene drivers producing deep reverberating base. Almost that alone warrants a solid 4 out of 5 stars from TheDealExperts team for these earbuds.

One of the biggest problems with wireless earbuds is the fit and the neverending challenge of trying to keep them in your ears.  Anker has done a great job with the design of these buds in that respect. They are smaller and lighter and fit effortlessly in your ear without compromising comfort or sound.

Battery life is also a challenging aspect to perfect when it comes to wireless earphones. The Bluetooth is the usual culprit as it sucks the battery life right out. But with a single charge, you can get hours of play time, and even more when using the included charging case.

These highly recommended wireless earbuds are already priced really well at their retail price point. Add the $20 off deal price plus the extra $3 off clipped coupon, this deal is really a steal.

Apple Watch Series 4 Review

Apple’s version 4 watch is a sight to behold. It’s sleek looking and packed with all the features you expect from a high-end smartwatch.

The nearly perfect, easy to use apple watch 4 deserves a 4.5 out 5 stars with our estimate. This most up to date smartwatch really has come along one since Apple first released their watch line 4 years ago. Everything from inside and out has been updated throughout the years and Apple has definitely made this one right.

The battery life, with up to 18 hours, is superb especially compared to the previous version. The watch face is simply brilliant looking with its 759 sq mm display area, which is 30% larger than the Apple Watch 3.  The guts of this watch sport a 64-bit dual-core S4 processor, which is up to 2x faster than the earlier version.  With just these specs alone its hard to pass up on such a great smartwatch.

Apple really pushed the fitness aspect of this watch which includes features such as head-to-head competitions, personalized coaching, activity sharing with friends and monthly challenges and achievement awards.

Apple products rarely go on sale and when they do it’s usually worth it to jump on the deal. With over $50 off instantly this Apple Watch 4 deal is a win in our book!

TCL 55S405 Review

As smart TV’s have become the norm these days it’s hard to remain behind the curve with outdated clunkers especially when prices have fallen so low.  Not too long ago the cost of a 4K LED TV was close to $1000. Fast forward a few years and you can pick one up for a just a few hundred.  Add a Roku interface together with great picture and sound quality, now you know you’re getting the best bang for your buck!

When we at TheDealExperts reviewed this Ultra HD 55″ TLC TV we were confident to give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. What stood out at first was the exceptional clarity and detail of the picture, something akin to higher-end TVs which usually sell for the cost of a month’s rent. The included Roku configuration makes it very easy to navigate and access hundreds of thousands of your favorite movies and TV shows with just a few clicks of the remote.

In addition, this smart 4K LED TV already has your favorite apps installed as well as built-in Wi-Fi so it’s ready to go right out of the box.

Another great feature is the high-speed HDMI input, 3 of them to be exact, supporting up to 2160p picture and digital surround sound.

To us, it seems like it’s already difficult to pass on such a great simple-looking TV that when you add the super low price of $280 with the $90 off coupon, its a guaranteed slam dunk deal.

55″ TCL (55R615) 6 Series 4K UHD Roku Smart HDTV Review

This 55” TCL 6 Series 4K Ultra UHD Roku Smart HDTV (Refurb) is the perfect choice for those looking for a high-quality TV, without the hefty price tag of a brand new one.

55-Inch Screen Size

First, let’s talk about the 55” display. Being this size allows the viewer to watch all their favorite shows without the discomfort of eye strain or the hassle of moving their chair closer to the screen. It is not so big that it takes up egregious amounts of space, unlike many other varieties of TVs, and it is not so small that you cant clearly see what’s happening.

Contrast Control Zone

Next, the TCL Contrast Control Zone. This feature optimizes the color that is displayed on every frame, meaning superior color quality. It automatically improves the quality of color on every image being displayed, meaning some shows that you may have had trouble seeing will now be much easier to watch and understand. It helps to add and accentuate the contrast between dark and light colors onscreen, helping the viewer to more easily distinguish characters and motions. No more having to pause or back up your program to understand what happened!

Roku Smart TV

Another key feature is the Roku Smart TV aspect of it. Smart TVs are a necessity these days, and this one is top of the line. Coming with preinstalled Roku technology, this TV is already set up for easy user navigation and simple customization.

Refurbished

And probably the most important aspect of this product is the fact that it is refurbished. Refurbished products tend to cause some anxiety among people searching for a device, with worries about defects or unnoticed problems. These worries are completely wiped away with this TV. You can rest assured that it has been thoroughly inspected and repaired before ever even being put on the market and that it is as good as new.

The 55” TCL 6 Series 4K Ultra UHD Roku Smart HDTV (Refurb) is an excellent product that integrates great image quality, color quality, and expert sizing to give you a top of the line Smart TV. Though it is a hefty investment, we believe it is one that is sure to pay off.

58″ JVC 4K Ultra HD Smart HDTV (LT-58MA887) Review

On the hunt for a new TV? Look no further than the 58” JVC 4K Ultra HD Smart HDTV. This TV is a conglomerate of all of the major aspects a high-quality TV has. Excellent picture quality, audio quality, large size, high refresh rate, and many more. But perhaps the best feature is its Smart TV capabilities. Smart TVs allow you access to all of your favorite apps and platforms from your TV. Previously, you could only access certain apps from handheld devices such as phones and tablets. This can severely limit your life, which mostly revolves around the internet and digital world, because all of your favorite experiences aren’t available on non-smart TVs. Smart TVs allow you to resume shows from different accounts and platforms that run on handheld devices and play them on TV.

Along with giving access to these platforms, this particular TV displays them in unparalleled detail and quality. With a refresh rate of 60Hz, this TV provides the viewer with video quality so clear and understandable you will feel immersed in the show. No more blurry lines or unclear movements, this Smart TV makes every movement crystal clear.

This TV’s resolution of 2160p assists in the experience of clear and understandable movement and display. Having a high Hz rate is not worth much unless you have the resolution to keep up with it. This TV’s high resolution not only keeps up with its high Hz, but they mutually benefit each other.

Its sizable 58” screen delivers a “home-theater” like feel to your viewing experience. No matter how clear the image is, if you have to squint and strain your eyes to see it, then it is not effective. With a screen of 58” inches, it is large enough so that you can place it at whatever distance you need or prefer, and still rest assured that you can see your programs with ease and clarity.

Overall, the 58” JVC 4K Ultra HD Smart HDTV is a top of the line device. Its most notable aspect is the cohesiveness of each individual feature, bringing together top quality resolution, refresh rate, and Smart TV function, to deliver an excellent viewing experience.
